Ace Products, LLC, Newport, TN;
Notice of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On November 8, 2006, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application on
Reconsideration applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The notice will soon be published in the
Federal Register.
The previous investigation initiated
on July 25, 2006, resulted in a negative
determination issued on September 14,
2006, based on the finding that imports
of semi pneumatic and solid rubber tires
did not contribute importantly to
worker separations at the subject firm
and no shift of production to a foreign
source occurred. The denial notice was
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:00 Dec 11, 2006
published in the Federal Register on
September 26, 2006 (71 FR 56172).
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding the subject firm’s
declining customers.
The Department requested additional
list of customers from the subject firm
and conducted a survey of these
customers regarding their purchases of
like or directly competitive products to
semi pneumatic and solid rubber tires.
It was revealed that several declining
customers increased their reliance on
imports of tires while decreasing their
purchases from the subject firm during
the relevant period. The increases in
imports accounted for a meaningful
portion of the subject plant’s lost sales.
In accordance with Section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its
investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older
workers.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the
Trade Act must be met. The Department
has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Jkt 211001
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced at Ace Products, LLC,
Newport, Tennessee, contributed
importantly to the declines in sales or
production and to the total or partial
separation of workers at the subject
firm. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following
certification:
All workers of Ace Products, LLC, Newport,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July
19, 2005, through two years from the date of
this certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to
apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.
